John,

Where is that ? Is the scenery freeware and what's the frame rate like ?

I think I've seen shots of the real thing in this forum somewhere - pretty realistic

Hi Degsy

That looks like St Maarten (Princess Juliana TNCM)

There was some recent scenery add on for that but I don't know what's being used here :think:

If I'm not too wrong you may see some of it in this nice vid:

Watch for the credits !

(Would it be Christian Delblond's nice freeware)

It's the FlyTampa scenery. Very well done I thought.

As for frame rates, I'm at a bit of a loss to comment as I now find myself in the enviable situation of not having to worry about FPS any more.

I upgraded my computer to a bit of a monster (Dell XPS 710 with Nvidia 8800-768 MB) to have a go at FSX, but after trying FS9 on it I'm not budging.

I have my FPS locked at 40, with everything possible maxed out. A large collection of very detailed scenery, real weather, Flight and Ground Environment, etc. etc. and the FPS stays put at 40. Smooth as silk. Magic!

I have most of FlyTampa's scenery and can vouch for their excellent quality. Great animation too, but not overdone. I particularly like their Vienna (LOWW) scenery.

Slew mode is away of moving arround in FS...personally I find it hard to controll but some seem to use it OK
